It's not my video, but this guy pretty much nails it:
So the "pod" in the achievement description means you should use one of the craft with the special "colourful" pod power-ups, so any of the OF- craft (#49-#53), though the one in the video (#52 OFX-4 SONGUKO) seems pretty handy.
The image for this achievement suggested the Leo ships to me, but I've tried those, and they don't work.
Best thing to do is create a custom course (from main menu ... Stage&ScoreAttack > Select the top option > Course Editing). Make the Special Mission (Y2.0) the first stage, with anything else after that.
Then play it (from main menu ... Stage&ScoreAttack > Select the top option > PlayOriginalCourse > select your custom course)
You must select Bydo difficulty and make it to the boss at the end of the first stage. You can die and use as many credits as you like, just get there and you'll have as many retries as you can manage (assuming you've unlocked infinite credits by now). If you just play this stage on Score Attack, you'll be put back to the start if you lose all your lives.
The only danger is killing the boss before you get twenty pod shots in, so I'd advise you to stop firing your normal weapons, and just use the
button to repeatedly fire the pod. The closer you are to the boss, the less time it takes for the pod to fire and return to you, so you'll be able to get shots in much faster. The lasers that the boss fires seem very unpredictable to me, so it might just take a bit of luck.
